Blue screen error and corrupted files

[toeknee12]

Hi, I was following Brink's tutorial on how to dual-boot install with Vista and XP (Method 2: When Vista is installed first). I was able to partition just fine until I ran into a problem before step #3. I encountered a blue screen stop error which told me to check for viruses, remove any newly installed hard drives/controllers, check for corrupted files,etc.

So, then I followed SFC Command tutorial and ran sfc /scannow on the elevated command prompt and I found that I had corrupted files that were not fixed. I wanted to see exactly which files were corrupted but when I entered:
findstr /C:"[SR]" %windir%\logs\cbs\cbs.log >%userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt
the exact results where: FINDSTR: CANNOT OPEN %userprofile%\Desktop\sfcdetails.txt

So, I have no idea how to fix this and this is preventing me from continuing on the dual-boot tutorial (at least I think this is why I'm encountering the blue screen error).

Any help is appreciated!

Could you upload your Dump Files Please so we can Analyse the Dump Files and it will show us what is the Problem

I also have a couple of other questions. I ran check disk using method one in this tutorial: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/67612-check-disk-chkdsk.html
Where can I see the results of it since I left my computer while it was running and when I got back, I saw the log-in screen. Also, is there a difference between method 1 and typing in "chkdsk /f" in the elevated command prompt? Perhaps method one is used for only checking and typing in "chkdsk /f" in command prompt fixes issues?

Read the instructions, again. It appears that step 2 was not completed. There are no dump reports

Re: Finding the ChkDsk Log File in Vista
In Vista after you run chkdsk, open the Event Viewer and navigate to Windows Logs / Application.
In the right side section, look for:
Source: wininit
Event ID: 1001

Double click this event and select the Copy button on the lower left corner of that dialog.
Open Notepad and Paste the results.

In method 1 you have the option of checking boxes to either just check or to repair. The cmd command will fix. It is like checking the fix box of method 1

Ok, I ran that BSOD app again and attached it to this post. The chkdsk log is also attached.

Im sorry the Dump report is not there. It is the most important one. Make sure you follow step 2, Run as adminstrator

Here is some more basic information

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. I am absolutely sure that I ran it as administrator.
Also, how come I don't have the privilege of sending private messages?
